=head1 NAME
comiccron - A cron like tool largely aimed at bringing up my web comics in the morning with a single command.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
comiccron -f cronfile
=head1 USAGE
This will act on any cronfile it is pointed at. For it to run the command, the last or next time it will be
will have to be within a minute and 15 seconds. For most usages, you will want to have the hour and minute
set to *. This allows a user to do something how ever many times they want any time during the period it is
active.
After running through every entry in the crontab, it then exits.
You need to use the full path for specifying the command.
=head1 WHY NOT CRON
You can have cron open opera or the like on a specific display by either switch or enviromental options, but it
will always open it. This allows you to open it any time along the point it is active.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Opens up http://somethingpositive.net in opera in a newtab on display localhost:0.1 any day of the week.
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/opera -display localhost:0.1 -newpage http://somethingpositive.net
Open up http://freefall.purrsia.com in opera in a newtab on display :0.1 on Mon, Tue, and Fri.
* * * * 1,3,5 /usr/local/bin/opera -display :0.1 -newpage http://freefall.purrsia.com
